There is another weather system that is the opposite of a cyclone. They are called anticyclones. As mentioned, anticyclones are the opposite of a cyclone. Air flows around them in the opposite ...

PROF. F. H. BIGELOW contributes to the U.S. A Monthly Weather Review for February a paper on the mechanism of counter-currents of different temperatures in cyclones and anticyclones. An outline ...

To many people, the term cyclone probably conjures up images of ferocious storm winds or the tornadoes central to the plot of the Wizard of Oz. However, cyclones, and anticyclones, are a broader ...

THE American Meteorological Journal for August contains an important investigation on the movements of the air at all heights in cyclones and anticyclones, as shown by cloud observations made at ...

In anticyclones, the winds turn against the direction of the planet's rotation, and are much more stable, meaning that their vortices last much longer than those of cyclones on the giant planets.

All of the air sucked up by thunderstorms in a cyclone’s eyewall has to go somewhere. The buildup of air at high altitudes creates an anticyclone, or a center of high air pressure. This ...

On Earth, anticyclones are created when high atmospheric pressure causes air from higher altitudes to be forced down. They are often associated with clear, warm, and dry weather. Cyclones on the ...
